Dangerous Virus

MyDoom also known as W32.MyDoom@mm, Novarg, Mimail.R and Shimgapi, is a computer worm affecting Microsoft Windows. It was first sighted on January 26, 2004. It became the fastest-spreading e-mail worm ever, exceeding previous records set by the Sobig worm and ILOVEYOU, a record which as of 2021 has yet to be surpassed.

MyDoom appears to have been commissioned by e-mail spammers to send junk e-mail through infected computers. The worm contains the text message "andy; I'm just doing my job, nothing personal, sorry," leading many to believe that the worm's creator was paid.

You build apps by working with: The App Inventor Designer, where you select the components for your app. The App Inventor Blocks Editor, where you assemble program blocks that specify how the components should behave. You assemble programs visually, fitting pieces together like pieces of a puzzle. In class we have designed three types of apps : drawing; kill the zombie and a calculator.

Image Formats

 Hi, today I´m going to tal about image formats. Raster Image Files: Raster images are constructed by a series of pixels, or individual blocks, to form an image. Every photo you find online or in print is a raster image.  Vector Image Files: Vector images are far more flexible. They are constructed using proportional formulas rather than pixels.  Your logo and brand graphics should have been created as a vector, and you should always have a master file on hand. The real beauty of vectors lies in their ability to be sized as small as a postage stamp, or large enough to fit on an 18-wheeler. Types of Image Files: JPEG (or JPG) - Joint Photographic Experts Group PNG - Portable Network Graphics GIF - Graphics Interchange Format TIFF - Tagged Image File PSD - Photoshop Document PDF - Portable Document Format EPS - Encapsulated Postscript AI - Adobe Illustrator Document INDD - Adobe Indesign Document RAW - Raw Image Formats
